Optical Long Pass Filter Dyes
The spectrum of light is divided into three major sections. The Ultraviolet region goes
from about 200nm to 400nm. The visible region goes from about 400nm to 750nm. The
infrared region goes from about 750nm to 2000nm. This catalog includes formulations of our
dyes which have been developed to be incorporated into polymers, such as acrylics and
polycarbonate, to fabricate optical long pass filters used in a variety of applications. At
present, we can develop filters with windows or cut-offs from 350nm to 1000nm.
Maximum Sensitivity:
Because our dyes provide a sharp cut-off, from 0% transmission to 100% transmission,
the filter exhibits excellent sensitivity to wavelength shifts. The sensitivity approaches
that of glass filters.
Computer Simulation:
Models are used to develop these formulations. This technology allows us to
experiment with many combinations of dyes to get the optimum performance profile.
Applications:
Long pass used in a variety of applications. These include: precision spectroscopy
applications as band separators. In photometry applications long and short pass filters
are used as order sorting or blocking filters, which are applied to a detector's window
to eliminate any second- and third-order distortion. Long and short pass filters are also
frequently used in Raman spectroscopy.
Specifications:
When selecting long pass and short pass filters, it is important to consider three
different specifications related to the product's wavelength ranges: cut-on / cut-off
wavelength, transmission range, and rejection range.
A filter's cut-on / cut-off wavelength is typically represented as a single wavelength,
such as "700nm." Barrier filters are also commonly referred to by their cut-on
wavelength; for example, a "700nm long pass filter" cuts off at 700nm and passes all
wavelengths (light) higher than this.
